Time flies when you're having fun! And I have been having a good, relaxing time off track, well except for good old school and homework that I have to do...but I guess I have to have something to keep me busy! :)
As far as the "relaxing" part goes, oh man...I am now a Vampire Diaries monster! For my birthday, my mom ordered me the first season of the Vampire Diaries because I had watched a few scattered episodes of it on TV, but never really understood what was going on because I would miss so many episodes in between. So, I finally got around to watching them on my break and I LOVE them! I am even going to go so far as saying that they are MUCH better than the Twilight movies...and I love those as well! Maybe I just like to look at the "evil" vampire brother Damon Salvatore too much in these, but the story line has so many twists and turns in it, you can't help but want to watch the next episode! Needless to say, I am all caught up on even the season 2 episodes and religiously following them on TV now. I even have my family hooked on them...yes, even my brother and Dad! :) So, if you like story lines with hot, blood-sucking vampires in them...I highly recommend these!
I also did some reading, finally getting to the third book of the "Hunger Games" series called Mockingjay. Wow! I pretty much read it in about 3 days! I had heard that some people didn't like it, but I thought it was great! It was just as suspenseful as the first 2 for me and I did like the ending as well, because Katniss, the main character, ended up with the guy I wanted her to! (I won't give it away for all those who want to read it still!)
Sadly, I haven't picked up any more juicy reads like that since because of all the reading I have to do for school. I guess it is back to late night and Saturday homework-doing starting next week! BOO! I do have one more book my dear mother got for me that is the most recent book of the "Tennis Shoes" series by Chris Hiemerdinger, an LDS author. Yes, call me a geek, but I own that whole series and LOVE them as well! I haven't read them since high school though, so I might have to read through them all again before I start this one!
Anyway, that pretty much sums up my life at this point...I know, pretty bland, but it will be changing quite a bit in December because I am moving out. Yes...you heard right...MOVING OUT! Yes this is a big step for me, seeing how I have had the same "roommates" for 25 years of my life (love you Mom and Dad) and they are wonderful roommates, but I don't think that at this point in my life it does me good socially to say, yeah...um...I live with my parents... Awkward silence. It has been SOOOO nice to save my money up a bit though and be able to pay for college for my bachelor's and my master's! So for that I am ETERNALLY grateful!
I am not moving far though...just 5 minutes away (once 11400 South goes all the way through)to a very cute townhouse my friend Sally purchased. It is still being built at the moment, but will be done in December. It is also closer to my work, so that will cut down on my driving time! I am very excited! So, I will keep you posted on when the big day happens (yes it is a big day for me...if you know me!).
For now, back to the real life I guess...for the last couple of days I have been in panic mode already trying to plan lessons and gear up for teaching next week...my cute little class of 27 will be waiting for me Monday morning and Parent/Teacher Conferences in 2 weeks! Phew...here goes nothing! :)
